Abstract excerpt
Sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is a vital sugar and bioenergy crop with an exceptionally complex polyploid genome (10-12 sets of chromosomes). This complexity resulted from nobilization-a historical breeding process involving interspecific hybridization and repeated backcrossing1. However, the extreme ploidy has long impeded efforts to elucidate the genetic basis of its considerable sucrose-storing capacity. Here we...
